Of his fame in baseball, everybody knows. He has done much for the betterment of his class and has helped to institute student government in the school. She likes to talk. So does Grattan. Xvhat happens? IAMES F. H. BOOTH I am Sli' Oracle- W'l1en I ape my llpw lel no flag bark. Xvith a tongue that fights for England in debating circles, and dramatic ability that makes him president of the Little Theater, that's Iimmy. Having not only brains but brawn, Jimmy has been a member of the championship soccer team for four years. The above paragraph should please a tall sophomore girl. lVlARY ELLA lONES Nfl regular glrl anal llze l1e.rl nf palm. Ella is one of the most popular and well-liked girls of Balboa High. She has distinguished herself in sports, being the outstanding girl athlete of our school. She has also proved to be an excellent secretary of her class. YVhy doesn't she wait a year and graduate with Stan?

He is also the destination of all senior dues. He surely knows his vouchers. The science club holds his interest, largely. Bashfulness is a good quality, though.

We soon shall have departed from her halls, never again to return. The places made vacant by our departure will be filled by other aspiring students. Little do they realize how soon they, too, will be mere memories, memories that will live for a day and be gone. We are at the eve ofthe student's greatest event, graduation. lt will be accompanied by no small sense of pleasure, for our goal has been attained and, although we have encountered difficulties all the way, these have been four enjoyable years. Still it will be melancholy, too, when we consider that once more we are freshmen, this time in life's school. YVhatever the future, no school can take the place of our Balboa High. Many of us will seek higher educa- tional institutions, but the old familiarity will be missing, and we shall long for our high school days. Let me join with the senior class in wishing for Balboa High continued worthwhile days: happy days, yet days of accomplish- ment.

His mighty feet and the look ot' good humor in his blue eyes make him a character of the senior class. A good Sea Scout, capable of tying any number of knots, and a constructor of model airplanes is he. He is especially good in tackling lamp posts from the seat of his bicycle. ROBERT H. ADAIWS If'l1o defenlcrl, ilzo' would aljque .rz'1'll. Ruby is one of those fellows who cannot be kept down. As a member ofthe tumbling class he has developed the bounceable disposition necessary to make him bob up here and there with a smile on his face. YVhen he graduates, those living near him will have to walk. DIANA DURFEE ALVARADO I am nolhfng lf no! .rf11ce1'e. The quotation probably explains why Diana is so well liked. She started her freshman year as Diana Durfee but the latter is better known as her middle name now. His- tory and Spanish clubs have both claimed her as a member. Her voice is melodious, especially when she's rattling off Spanish. ZENAIDA ARROYO Hfaficnce and -!1l'l1llCl1E.h'J' are power. She surely can make you feel ignorant in your Spanish: but she should, for that is her native tongue. Knowing how to punch the typewriter is another of her accomplish- ments. She'll make a good stenographer for some business man soon. Yvhat is in that big jug? A ' ' lVf11'!.fl Sadie has played basketl for her class. was given in tl day.
